99 Electrics failure - eknox
Hi there,
I have a 99 passat and it wont start, everything has been checked and turns out fine, it has something to do with the manufactured alarm on the car. As if my key wont let me start the car. The alarm sounds only half the time, but blinks red when locked. Does anyone know anything about the ignition and keys for this?? please and thank you!!

{moves from a 2003 post you tagged onto, to one of its own. Engine info may be useful?}

CCM and water problem very common I am afraid. Enter Plenum Chamber into the search window on www.vwaudiforum.co.uk Passat section. If the drain holes, two, where clear why was it retaining water. That can not be. To remove the plooen filter the trim sas to be removed from the bottom of the windscreen not just the scuttle plate. Take care doing that as you can crack the screen. Regards Peter
